Indoor Castings / Painting:
     Castings made for indoor use are generally made of reinforced gypsum (plaster). Gypsum is not a weatherproof material unless specially treated. Standard priming and painting procedures should be used for finishing. Use a good grade latex or oil base paint. We do not recommend a high gloss finish. Prior to painting, make sure pieces are thoroughly dry.

Outdoor Castings:
     Castings made for outdoor use are made with a specially treated formulated mixture called "polymer modified gypsum". These castings can be used outdoors but must still be sealed and painted with exterior paint and caulked to prevent water intrusion. We recommend two coats of good quality exterior paint.
